A new way toFundFollow Creativity

Derek Tonks likes to make things, and for his senior art project he's decided to build a full-size, Hollywood-quality monster suit. Designed to embody everyday fears, the suit features mechanical monster-claws, 12" stilts, and a fully articulated face with animatronic eyes. Cool!

Stirling Elmendorf began photographing rural Japan ten years ago, capturing an intimate and often unseen cross-section of local life. Now, he hopes to return and complete this photographic series so that he can transform his vision into a fine art book.

Patrick Kindlon likes to write comics about sad, violent men (how romantic?), so with "The Urn" he brings you a story about a biker who returns home from prison only to be faced with news of his ex-wife's murder. A story of revenge for her killer unfolds, and violence ensues...

"Pariah" is a critically acclaimed feature film about a teenager who struggles to reconcile her identity with the expectations of her friends and family. An extremely personal story for filmmaker Dee Rees, the movie explores how individuality can sometimes be an act of courage.

Renowned photographer Patrick Hoelck's project Polaroid Hotel pays tribute to the art of Polaroid photography. He is compiling a book and producing an exhibition that spans his 12-year career and captures both the nostalgia and the unpredictability of his work.

With a cast of incredibly talented actors, a great story, and one of the best project videos we've ever seen, Jocelyn Towne has built an amazing community around her new film project "I Am I." Check out the video to see what all the buzz is about, and join the fun!

What is Kickstarter?

Kickstarter is the largest funding platform for creative projects in the world. Every month, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields.

A new form of commerce and patronage.
This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.

All or nothing funding.
On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. Creators aren't expected to develop their project without necessary funds, and it allows anyone to test concepts without risk.

Each and every project is the independent creation of someone like you.
Projects are big and small, serious and whimsical, traditional and experimental. They're inspiring, entertaining and unbelievably diverse. We hope you agree... Welcome to Kickstarter!
